Welcome to the online Cooking Reboot course.

So many of us would like to be organized in the kitchen and cook more often at home. Prepare meals that truly nourish our families and scrap all the take-out, processed, pre-made foods that are typically fatty, sugary and salty.

But let's face it...with juggling work, family, social events and everyday chores, there's little time to get organized to cook. Plus take-out is just a phone call away.

But what if you could cook more meals at home?

What if you could get organized with healthy meal prep ideas, gain confidence with your cooking ability with someone guiding you through each step of the process?

You'd eat real food, less take out and processed food. You'd feel better about taking care of yourself and your family and you'll gain confidence with your cooking skills.

It's why I created the Cooking Reboot course. I wanted to develop a course that was enjoyable and relatable to the everyday cook. To teach healthy eating and cooking habits that are easy to implement. To give you the confidence and inspiration to prepare simple, tasty meals for your family and friends...and to have some fun in the kitchen!

Menu Planning For Parents + 7 Day Menu Plan Challenge

Are you bored with cooking? Need some inspiration? Wish to eat healthier and feed you family well balanced meals? Menu Planning is a fantastic tool for the home cook with busy families. It will help you save time, money and spice up your day-to-day cooking. This course includes a 7 day menu plan challenge. Sign up today.

Cooking healthy meals for your family is easy to do if you have a menu plan. But, many parents lack the time, confidence, and motivation to organize their weekly cooking. So, they eat take-out, premade, processed, and packaged foods that are typically full of fat, sugar and salt.

A weekly meal plan will get you on track and give you the confidence to prepare healthy meals for your family that are full of variety, well balanced, and tasty.

In this course we create a Monday to Friday dinner menu plan with you that includes recipes, side dishes, and a shopping list. It will be based on your schedule and with your recipes.

The course also includes a 7 day menu planning challenge. The challenge starts right away. We challenge you to do a menu plan and follow it for a week. Expect to receive an email from us for the next 7 days with encouragement, food information and recipes! We want you to have success with your menu plan.

As a parent, menu planning helps in so many ways. It will:

•Save you time, by eliminating that daily question we all ask “What am I going to cook for dinner tonight?”

•Save you money and prevent impulse buys at the grocery store.

•Reduce food waste, which saves you more money

•Ensures you eat a variety of real foods and create well balanced meals.

•Help you Eat less take out, cook healthier meals with less processed and premade foods.

Knowing what you will cook for dinner every night will take away the stress and boredom of daily cooking. It will also give you the confidence to call yourself a healthy home cook.

In this course you will create your own menu plan with recipes that your kids love. You'll also learn:

ABOUT US

I’m Barb Kemp, creator of Recipes To The Rescue. I’m a food educator with over 15 years of experience, and an enthusiastic home cook. I get very excited talking and teaching about all things food, healthy eating and cooking. My hope is, you too will find the joy of real food and be inspired to join the tribe of life-long healthy and happy home cooks.

My love of food and cooking began in my twenties when I discovered my cholesterol level was very high. It was so high I was advised to become vegetarian. The problem was I liked meat and potatoes and didn’t really know how to cook. I was young and ate whatever I wanted, including takeout foods filled with addictive sugar, salt, and fat. Embracing the challenge, I learned to cook with veggies and whole grains and discovered a whole new lifestyle.

Later, when I became a mom, one of our children developed a dairy allergy and all meals had to be made from scratch. I struggled at first, but once again welcomed the change and learned to menu plan and cook dairy-free.

Eventually, I switched careers and started teaching and writing about the importance of home cooking and meal planning with healthy whole foods.

Today, many home cooks lack food knowledge and confidence in the kitchen, as I once did. In some ways, the need to cook is declining, as prepared food is everywhere. Yet for many of us there’s a real desire to cook nourishing meals at home.

That’s why I created the Cooking Reboot online courses. They're enjoyable and relatable for the everyday home cook and teach habits and skills that can easily become part of a healthy lifestyle. Learning the marvels of menu planning and gaining the confidence to cook saved me and my family…and it can save yours too. Join me and together we’ll bring magic into your home kitchen.

I live in Vancouver, B.C. Canada with my husband, two sons, and a lively vizsla.
